Poor Eddie Jackson. Totally insane as you can see. Look at that lower button
on his jacket. That’s the one! Just above what looks to be his open fly. Or
something equally maniacal... Of course the rumors about him were all true. And
lord, I should know. Cos, I’m Eddie Jackson! ...And folks, I’m a study in High
Fidelity: Which is also known as “personal demons.” Just call me Crazy Eddie! I
do Barber Shop. But get this: I do it solo. I’m a lone Barbershop howling wolf.
A Barber Shop Rebel. I don’t play or sing by the Barbershop rules. I’m out
there. Alone. An artiste. A ground breaker. A face breaker too. Oh, and everyone
says I look like that dad character from that awful “Everybody Loves Raymond” TV
show... Basically, I’m a pretty simple guy. Yeah, I can dance and sing. But I
can also turn violent. On a dime! I mean, come on; look at me! You should have
seen what I did to this guy who told me I was bastardizing the art of
Barbershop... I went totally genitals on the guy’s nuts. I mean, nuts on the
guy’s genitals. And then I killed him. It was the kindest thing I could have
done at that stage. Yes, I danced all over him while singing a barbershop
standard. It was “Moonlight Bay.” And it was beautiful... My rendition of the
song, that is. The rest of it was really rather messy. Not to mention loaded
with carnage and splayed guts and pieces of membrane. But that’s the solo Barber
Shop life for ya. It ain’t always corny harmonies and bland songs. Sometimes
people die... Mostly at the hands of me – Crazy Eddie Jackson!

Imaginary Date
INT. PUBLIC BATHROOM -- EVENING
Freddy and Glen comb their hair in front of a mirror.
FREDDY: Come on Glen you can't back out now. Besides, Lucy only agreed to go out
with me if I could find a date for her imaginary friend.
GLEN: And you think that's healthy, you want to date this woman?
FREDDY: Mental stability is highly over rated. I know it's unusual, but I'm just
asking you to play along, and besides, if you don't like her you never have to
see her again.
GLEN: Very funny.
INT. RESTAURANT -- NIGHT
Glen, Freddy, Lucy and Imaginary Mandy seated at table.
LUCY: That movie was great, I could see Harvey a million times. Well if you men
will excuse us, Mandy and I really need to use the powder room. Come on, Mandy.
Lucy and her Imaginary Friend exit to the bath room.
FREDDY: Boy Glen, that Mandy is quite a knockout...hahaha...
GLEN: I outta kill you.
FREDDY: Shhh...I don't think she's left the room yet.
GLEN: I'm glad you think this is funny because as far as I'm concerned it's
sick.
FREDDY: (barely able to stifle his laughter) I can't believe you sat on her --
TWICE!
GLEN: And having to fork out twenty dollars for a meal she hasn't even
touched...I'm leaving after dinner.
FREDDY: Come on, please, hang in for another hour...I have a romantic drive in
the country planned.
INT. CAR -- NIGHT
Lucy and Freddy in back seat. Glen sits in front passenger seat next to empty
driver's seat, the car is not moving.
GLEN: Maybe you should let me drive Mandy.
INT. CAR -- NIGHT
The car is parked in the country. Glen and Imaginary Mandy are in the back seat. Lucy
and Freddy in the front.
FREDDY: Look Lucy I'm really sorry, my hand slipped.
LUCY: And your tongue?
From the back seat we hear Glen moaning in ecstasy.
FREDDY: Will you shut up, Glen?
LUCY: At least he knows how to treat a woman.
GLEN: Oh yes...me too.. yes... Oh yes!
FREDDY: I said shut up!
LUCY: I'm getting out of here, I'll walk home. Coming, Mandy?
GLEN: (popping his head up from back seat) Yes...she is... She really is...
INT. HOUSE -- DAY
Glen and Freddy. In the room are framed blank pictures all over the walls.
GLEN: She's late.
FREDDY: How can you tell?
GLEN: I don't mean that...I mean...late. I think I got her pregnant.
FREDDY: You got an imaginary girl pregnant?
GLEN: I don't understand it, I used an imaginary condom.
FREDDY: This is truly getting weird. First you plaster her picture everywhere
and now this.
GLEN: I think I love her.
FREDDY: She's imaginary.
GLEN: Racist!
FREDDY: She doesn't exist.
GLEN: Oh sure...well we all have our faults buddy, and hers aren't going to stop
me from marrying her.
FREDDY: I can't wait to meet her folks.
INT. HOUSE -- NIGHT
A slightly drunk Glen arrives home.
GLEN: I'm home... Yeah... yeah... Alright! Sorry, so I had a few beers, so what?
Yeah... Shut up... Can't you ever close that god damned yap of yours... No... No
I did not...with who? Get outta here... Your imagining things... Don't start...
You're so transparent... Yes, that was a slight. Oh give me...LOOK IT'S BEEN A
LONG DAY...Oh sorry, I didn't know the kids were in the room...
He pats an imaginary child's head.
GLEN: We'll talk later.
EXT. GRAVE SIDE -- MORNING
GLEN: Oh honey, I can't believe that you're gone...that I'll never see you
again. I wish I had been nicer, told you that I loved you more often. Good-bye
my love, I will miss you...
Glen is pushed into empty grave.
GLEN: Huh? Mandy? You were standing behind me the whole time...you're not dead?
Stop laughing Mandy this isn't funny, it wasn't funny the first time...I can't
believe it...
A shovel full of dirt hits his face.
GLEN: You're killing me Mandy, do you hear me? Killing me...
Canadian Election Insanity
Today: High
(Check Back For Daily Updates)
Ordinary citizens are clamouring for a bold and visionary Prime Minister who
will lead them to better times in this new and challenging century... Others
want Avery Ant to run.
Oh crap, it really looks like a Xmas Election this time! So much for my big
plans to booze it up over the holidays. This just proves that none of those self
serving Grinches gives a rat's ass about the stress Canadians already endure
over the holidays. Now they want to add to it -- big time! Yes, if having your
family over for turkey and prolonged periods of arguing wasn't enough of a
nightmare, now we're going to have listen to all of these idiots (myself
included) blather on about the best way to govern this country. They'll be
knocking at your doors, calling you on the phone, and generally interrupting you
while you're trying to scream and rail at all those awful Christmas TV
commercials. Thanks guys!
 Your Horoscope.
WARNING!
Today’s Horoscope

Aries: See above. Ha! Just kidding, see below.
Taurus: See
above.
Gemini: You will continue to view the walrus as a large marine
mammal (Odobenus rosmarus) of Arctic regions, related to the seals and
having two long tusks, tough wrinkled skin, and four flippers.
Cancer: Ditto for you on Sea Lions (see above).
Leo: Sometimes you have to sacrifice some of your time to be there
for someone else. Other times you have to sacrifice a virgin to your false God.
Virgo: Heaven help anyone who tries to challenge your skills, in
any department. You'll be downright furious and you won't make a secret of it.
You’re such a bitch! :)
Libra: You will find trouble in small packages.
Scorpio: You think the horoscope above in incredibly lame.
Sagittarius: You will read Scorpio’s horoscope and have mixed feelings.
Capricorn: You'll soon get a jolt of strength when lots of
masculine energy enters your life. That “masculine
energy” is, of course, steroids.
Aquarius: You will wake up with crust in your eyes. Boy, isn’t life rich
and special?
Pisces: You will actually slug someone for looking at you the wrong way.
Later you will shoot a man – just for snoring to loud!
